I'm a melittologist (native bee researcher) who specializes in pollination ecology, especially the role of bees as pollinators of native plants and crops. Currently an adjunct professor in Entomology and a Research Associate in EEB. I am the international coordinator for The Pollinator Partnership (www.pollinator.org) an environmental non-profit organization I helped establish 11 years ago. To date, I've published 12 books and over 170 scientific articles. In the past, I taught beekeeping and pollination courses at the University of Arizona.
